A university degree that offers students the ability to study a wide range of subjects, but ultimately learn nothing. The arts degree provides a broad college experience, but extremely bad job prospects.
Arts students will often try to disguise their choice of course by naming the individual subjects they're doing, e.g. 'Theology and Sociology', 'Anthropology, Quantitave Economics and Medieval German'.(Nice try, it's still arts!)
Having only 8-12 hours of college a week (including tutorials, practicals, study and any other work their course 'demands') leaves arts students with a lot of free time. This free time is usually taken up with protests, smoking weed, sleeping, attending concerts or styling their hair/applying fake tan.
Written on a toilet paper dispenser: 'Arts Degree: Please take one'.

A loud, usually drunken, but hillariously entertaining country fellow. A man of intense sexual energy, but ABSOLUTELY no charm or subtelty. Creation of the Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan, but describes accurately a vast number of rural Irish men in their early 20's to 50's.
Declan Moffat, while extremely hungover and struggling to form sentences describing a situation where a man wants to make love to a woman, but she's not in the mood, but requires some gentle persuasion: "DID YA EVER RAPE SOMEONE?"
This is an example of "A Declan Moffat".

An Irish nightclub that is a rite of passage for thousands of teenagers throughout the midlands of Ireland. Located in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, this club and it's lax policy of allowing (and some say, encouraging) underage drinking, attracts all social groups looking for a good 'shift' (or maybe more). From goths to chavs all are welcomed.
If you're 16, don't mind the smell of Lynx body spray and in the mood for a foam party, Harriers on a Saturday is heaven for you!
Anto: Biyz, are yees goin to Harriers?, it'll be savage craic!
Wayne: No way, I'm nearly 18! Way too old for that place.
For legal reasons, I must state that Harriers 'complies with all the laws regarding alcohol sale and consumption'. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

A type of person who usually has money, but for some unknown reason is suddenly broke. The opposite of nouveau riche.
Dan: What's your new laptop like?
John: Great, but I checked my bank balance and I'm flat broke.
Dan: I thought you were minted..!?
John: I was, now I'm nouveau pauvre.

A branch of Chemical Engineering that makes as much sense as a sequel to 'Titanic'. Also known as the 'Dark Arts of Chem Eng' or 'Absolute Bullshit', this course is hated by all who've encountered it.
Can only be learned from an evil professor through a series of lectures of confusing and often archaic material.
Process Control is a pathway to abilities some consider unnatural.
I felt a great disturbance in the input signal, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
*cough*, *cough-nerd-cough* Sorry for the nerdy in-joke, I'm an engineer.

When dealing with a row of toilet cubicles, 'trap one' is the cubicle nearest the main door. If all toilets are equidistant from the door, the cubicle to the extreme left is trap one.
Ryan on phone: 'Just shit myself again, throw the new pair of jeans into trap one'
